Thermally stable monolith catalyst for reforming reaction

Abstract

The present invention relates to a monolith catalyst for reforming reaction, and more particularly, to a thermally stable (i.e. thermal resistance-improved) monolith catalyst for reforming reaction having a novel construction such that any one of Group 1A to Group 5A metals are used as a barrier component in the existing catalyst particles to inhibit carbon deposition occurring during the reforming reaction in a process for formation of a reforming monolith catalyst while improving thermal durability as well as non-activation of the catalyst due to a degradation.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention aims to solve problems with traditional monolith catalysts used for reforming reactions. These catalysts often lose their effectiveness due to carbon deposition and degradation during use. The invention introduces a new monolith catalyst that prevents this degradation by using a proper amount of certain metal barrier components. These metals prevent the growth of active particles, resulting in a more stable and effective catalyst. The new catalyst also reduces the amount of catalyst needed and has improved activity compared to existing monolith catalysts.

Problems solved by technology

Among those, the Korean Government has established the goal of 37% decrease in greenhouse gas, compared to the estimated exhaust for 2030, thus increasing a burden on the industry.

Such a carbon dioxide reforming reaction is a strong endothermic reaction wherein a theoretical maximum conversion rate at a predetermined temperature, that is, an equilibrium conversion rate is increased at a higher temperature, and thus the reaction occurs at a temperature of 650° C. or more, and is generally progressing at a high temperature of 850° C. However, the reaction at the high temperature described above enables catalyst particles to be easily sintered, thus decreasing a point of activation (“activation point”) of catalyst, while simultaneously occurring carbon deposition significantly deteriorates catalytic activity.

However, the above problems, that is, carbon deposition and non-activation of a catalyst due to the degradation under a high temperature reaction condition (800° C. or more) have not yet been overcome.

However, these catalysts also have not yet basically solved the above-described problems occurring during the reforming reaction.
